Tools (9)

Read from the source code; the running server may differ. Descriptions are the server’s own words; hidden characters are shown as [U+…].

  • build_knowledge_graph

    Link a study's searches and key papers into an Obsidian vault, kg_<topic>, with notes for papers, MeSH concepts and searches. Later calls with the same topic add to it; refresh reruns every recorded search and key paper.

  • download

    Download the newest matches of a PMC search as JSON files, one per article, into <output_dir>/<folder named after the search>. Existing files are skipped. Articles whose publishers forbid downloading are counted as unavailable.

  • export_citations

    Write the downloaded articles, or chosen ones, as a BibTeX or RIS file that Zotero, EndNote or Mendeley imports. Give the researcher the file's path.

  • fetch_abstracts

    Save the abstracts of a PubMed search's newest matches, including articles whose full text is not free in PMC, into the same folder download uses. list_articles then shows them marked [abstract only]. Use it when search_pmc reports many more articles in PubMed than in PMC.

  • list_articles

    Downloaded articles, newest first, each once: identifiers, year, journal, title and length. With ids, only those articles; with abstracts, their abstracts too. Scan titles first, then read the abstracts of the articles that bear on the question.

  • most_cited

    The works the downloaded articles cite most: the field's foundations, and good key papers for the neighborhood tool.

  • neighborhood

    Similar, citing and cited papers of one PubMed article, with counts of reviews, retractions and NIH funding, and the retracted papers named. Saved as <output_dir>/neighborhood_<pmid>/neighborhood.json.

  • read_article

    The full text of one downloaded article. With find, only the paragraphs that contain the term, numbered, which is usually enough; without it, the text up to max_chars.

  • search_pmc

    Count a PubMed Central search and list its newest matches, without downloading. Use PubMed field tags: [Title], [Title/Abstract], [mh] for MeSH, "open access"[filter]. Plain words match anywhere in the full text, so most results are off topic.
